If a domain is removed, should the associated redirect be also? [LOGGED]

MediaServe

I'm writing up a support ticket response providing instructions to an Enhance client who is new to the panel, and I've added a domain as a secondary domain hosted in a separate/new directory. This client already has been provided instructions and screenshots for adding other domains and marking the "Redirect to the primary domain ...", but she now wants to know how to handle a secondary website domain (not a separate Enhance website) with it's own directory with additional domains that redirect there too.

So as I provide the differences in the steps involved, I've added a non-existent domain name and a redirect for it. The redirect was created specifically for the dummy domain, so it should be removed as well when the domain itself has been removed IMO.

You're right it should be removed. The way redirects work at the moment (using .htaccess) isn't optimal because it doesn't work on web servers which don't support .htaccess and it might be affected by other .htaccess rules.

We will shortly be improving this so that redirects are written to the web server config. This will have the side-effect that any redirect config will be removed if a mapped domain is removed.
